If you know me, you know how much I hate school supply packs because I loved going shopping for them as a child and now enjoying doing that with Army. I think it's a great way to get ready for school. BUT, it can be a headache if you don't start early.
One of my new favorite websites, moneysavingmoms.com, now has a thread just for back to school savings. YAY! Click here to see it. I can't promise the quality of all of these items, but I always pick them up anyways for kids who come to my class with nothing (sad, I know). I've picked up my sons's supplies for around $15 so far (Kinder has less than most grades). Also, I didn't feel the need to get them all at one time and be done with it. I kept a list on my phone and checked it off as I went. I got his supplies from Walgreens...cheap Kleenex, Kroger...cheap wipes, Staples...cheap Crayola watercolors $2, and mostly Target. I can't believe how the prices vary from store to store. Walmart had paint for .79 cents more than Staples, but Staples was selling a box of 24 crayons for $2. What? Promise me you'll never pay more than .50 cents for a box of 24 ct crayons. Did you know they are often cheaper than a box of 8 ct? Now you're gonna look. I lucked into most of the deals since I don't waste gas doing "research" of all the stores prices. I didn't buy the paint at Target since they were out and luckily I didn't and found it cheaper at Staples. I'm kinda sad that all we have left to buy is a decent backpack (don't get me started on this) and maybe a 1st day of school outfit. Ready or not Kindergarten, here he comes!!!

Designer Daily Deal Site And ?
I stumbled across www.myhabit.com. It is sponsored by Amazon. Some of the deals last more than one day, but sell out fast. There are always designer shoes and cute girl's clothes. There is a men's, women's and children's section.
Also, I know that www.nomorerack.com is another daily deal site. Does anyone know of other daily deal sights?
Go Green And Get Green
Have you seen these at CVS? They cost $1 and attach to your own reusable bag. Each time you purchase something at CVS, you scan this tag (maximum of one scan a day). Every 4th time it is scan, a $1 CVS buck will print out with your receipt. They also had cute little reusable bags that fold up into a little carrier and will fit in your purse on sale at CVS. I've used the bag a lot more than I thought I would.
$4 off $20 CVS Purchase Coupon!
If you know your CVS card number, go to www.cvs.com/email. If you give them an e-mail address to send ExtraCare card promos too, you will be sent a $4 off $20 coupon.

Unlucky at Walgreens
Walgreen's is definitely, by far, the most difficult place to redeem their "advertised" deals. In the past 3 weekends I have discovered that they like to stock only a shelf full of the items they have on sale and once they are gone, they're gone. Unless you see something you really like, then you can plan to hit them up early on Sunday morning and
